Having many children in the apocalypse brings good fortune: Marrying a wife grants access to superpo

Room 1301, Building 12, Qinghe Residential Area.

Zhang Daqiang was incredibly excited as he looked at the flames leaping in his palm. Earlier that morning, with the falling golden rain, he had gained the power to control flames.

After some research, he also thoroughly understood the abilities he currently possessed.

He awakened a superpower: the powerful ability to control fire!

"Brother Qiang, you were really amazing just now. You casually threw out a ball of fire and burned the zombies upstairs to death. With you here, we can do whatever we want in this apocalypse."

"Yeah, with Brother Qiang, we can live a life of luxury even in the apocalypse."

"Brother Qiang, you have to protect us from now on. From now on, you are our big brother."

"Nonsense, Brother Qiang was our leader before. From now on, we'll all listen to Brother Qiang."

......

Standing next to Zhang Daqiang were several young men dressed in a flashy manner; they were all employees of Zhang Daqiang's car wash.

Here's the thing: Zhang Daqiang owns several car washes, and these energetic young men are all car wash workers he hired.

Anyone who's worked at a car wash knows that these energetic young men are the cheapest.

You can hire one for two or three thousand yuan a month. They are hardworking, and you can occasionally give them a pack of cigarettes or invite them to play billiards. They are obedient and very cost-effective.

On the day of the apocalypse, Zhang Daqiang invited these energetic young men to his home for hot pot.

As for why I invited them to my house for dinner...

It's because Zhang Daqiang repainted the living room walls a few days ago, and the new latex paint contained formaldehyde, so he asked them to come here to act as human air purifiers.

As the group was eating, black rain fell, causing a disaster that trapped everyone in Zhang Daqiang's house.

Fortunately, they had hot pot that day, and Zhang Daqiang had bought a lot of hot pot ingredients, plus eight cases of beer, and the surplus food that Zhang Daqiang's family already had, which allowed them to last for a whole week.

However, there were many of them, and they had already finished their food yesterday. They originally planned to find a way to get something to eat today, but then the golden rain came, and Zhang Daqiang awakened his fire-type ability.

Just now, Zhang Daqiang led a few people upstairs to search for supplies. After encountering a zombie, Zhang Daqiang used his fire-type ability to burn the zombie to ashes.

Witnessing such immense power, these energetic young men were incredibly excited, calling Zhang Daqiang "Brother Qiang" repeatedly, practically praising him to the skies.

"No problem, no problem. You are all my brothers, Zhang Daqiang's brothers. I won't treat you unfairly."

When Zhang Daqiang was young, he was quite the troublemaker. He enjoyed being the boss, and he knew very well that there was strength in numbers. When trouble came, these young men were really loyal and willing to help.

Although he awakened his superpowers, having a few more loyal underlings wasn't a bad thing.

"Brother Qiang is so awesome!"

"Brother Qiang is awesome!"

Several energetic young men immediately began to flatter him.

"Brother Qiang, I just found this upstairs. Can you take a look and see what it is?"

At this moment, Huang Wujun handed a small, golden fruit to Zhang Daqiang.

He was also an employee of Zhang Daqiang's car wash and the foreman of these energetic young men.

This golden fruit was found on a potted plant on a balcony of a house when they went upstairs to search for food.

Because the fruit emitted a faint glow, he found it very peculiar and picked it.

"Oh? Let me see."

Zhang Daqiang reached out and took it, but as soon as he did, his expression changed to one of surprise.

Because he sensed a familiar power within the fruit, the power contained within the golden rain!

It was this power that transformed his body, awakening his fire-based abilities.

After a moment of surprise, Zhang Daqiang swallowed the golden fruit.

After the golden fruit enters the stomach, it transforms into a pure energy that fills the internal organs.

Furthermore, the fiery red pill inside his body was slowly rotating.

Zhang Daqiang subconsciously closed his eyes and activated his internal spiritual core. Immediately, the internal spiritual core began to rotate rapidly, absorbing energy from his body.

Zhang Daqiang stood still for a full twenty minutes before he finished absorbing the energy from the golden fruit.

He slowly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy!

"Brother Qiang, what's wrong?" Huang Wujun asked curiously.

Zhang Daqiang stood motionless for a full twenty minutes, and they didn't dare to disturb him, so they just watched quietly from the side.

"This golden fruit can actually enhance my strength."

"What? Enhance your strength?" Huang Wujun was very surprised.

The other energetic young men looked at each other in bewilderment.

"If Brother Qiang could eat a few more, wouldn't he be even more amazing?"

"Wouldn't those zombies be even less of a match for Brother Qiang then?"

"That's great!"

"I understand now. Brother Qiang gained his superpower because of that golden rain. This golden fruit probably also contains the energy of that golden rain, which is why it can increase Brother Qiang's strength."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go help Brother Qiang find more of these fruits. When Brother Qiang becomes even stronger, we won't be afraid of those zombies anymore."

Several energetic young men discussed the matter animatedly, and Zhang Daqiang also found their points quite reasonable.

He said to Huang Wujun, "Wujun, I think Xiaolong and the others are right. Since you picked this golden fruit from a potted plant, there must be many more. In that case, you can come with me to search the entire neighborhood and help me find these golden fruits, and also scavenge for other supplies."

"Food is essential for survival in the apocalypse."

"Brother Qiang, you're right. However, scavenging for food and searching for the golden fruit doesn't necessarily require our personal involvement. We can..."

.......

After searching floors 12 through 20, Lin Mo took Shen Miaomiao and Jiang Xinxin back to Shen Miaomiao's house.

Jiang Xinxin had been in the bathroom for seven days. Although she had eaten something just now, she was still very weak. After she came back, Shen Miaomiao let her lie down on the bed and fall asleep.

After covering the little girl with the blanket, Shen Miaomiao also looked at Lin Mo standing at the door.

"Should we go downstairs and continue searching?"

They've only searched half of this building; there are still more than ten floors below.

Lin Mo did not respond to her, but calmly stared at Jiang Xinxin, who was lying quietly asleep on the bed in the bedroom.

Lin Mo was wondering whether he should use Jiang Xinxin to complete the system's task, since Jiang Xinxin was also a woman.

Taking her down should also complete the mission.

But looking at Jiang Xinxin's delicate and adorable face, Lin Mo couldn't bring himself to do it, and a sense of guilt welled up inside him.

Although he struggled in the apocalypse for ten years, it does not mean that he was devoid of humanity.

The so-called end times are not just about killing and being killed.
